Application June 12,

1 Claim.

This invention relates to garment hangers, and its general object is to provide a hanger that can be connected and suspended from a suitable supporting means such as a clothes line, rod or the like without fear of the hanger being casually removed or falling therefrom.

A further object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger that can be easily and expeditiously associated with suitable securing means with very little effort.

Another object of the invention is to provide a garment hanger that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and extremely efficient in use and service.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the c ombination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out 20 in the appendedclaim.

In describing my invention in detail; reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is a side view of the hanger which forms the subject matter of the present invention applied to a clothes line.

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is an edge elevation.

Figure 4 is a fragmentary side view of the hanger with the fastening means thereof arranged in open position.

Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be noted that I have illustrated my hanger as being the usual garment receiving body that is provided with a horizontal portion l which has formed thereon converging side pieces 2 which merge into straight portions 3 at their upper ends, as best shown in Figure l.

The straight port-ions extend into vertical portions that are twisted upon themselves as at 4, and while one end of the strand terminates in the twisted portions, the remaining end portion extends upwardly therefrom to cooperate with the twisted end portions to provide a shank 5 for the hanger. e

The shank 5 extends into an arched portion 6 at its upper end, to receive supporting means for the hanger, such as a rod, pole or the like, and formed on the outer end of the arched porand removed from -,a

' resilient qualities of formed from a single strand of wire, and includes 1934, Serial No. 430,331

tion for disposal laterally of the shank is a coil 1, that has itsinner portion directed toward the shank to cooperate therewith for providing a restricted passage between the same, to bind a rod,

within the arched portion, as shown in Figure 1. Formed on the coil is an arm 8 which extends at a downward inclination toward the shank and has a hook 9 on its lower end to be detachably received by the shank at the lower end of the latter.

While I'have illustrated my hanger as being formed from a single strand of wire, it will be obvious that the body portion may be formed from wood'or like material and the suspending means from wire, with the suspending means secured to the wooden body in any well known manner, but in any event the suspending means includes an arched or curved portion 6 to receive a clothes line, supporting rod or the like as shown, and a coil portion such as 1 adds materially to the the suspending means, so as to not only set up a yieldable binding association of the suspending means with respect to a the appended claim.

-What Iclaimis:

A resilient wire supporting hook for a garment hanger, comprising a shank having its lower end secured to the hanger, and arched portion formed on the upper end of the shank to receive supporting means such as a rod for the hanger, a coil formed on the arched portion and spaced laterally from the shank, said coil having its inner portion extended toward the shank to cooperate therewith for providing a restricted passage between the same to bind the rod within the arched portion,- an arm having one end formed on the coil and extending at a downward inclination toward the shank, and a hook on the lower end of the arm to be d'etachably received by the shank at the lower end 01' the latter.
